JANUARY 29, 2003 -- GRAND JUNCTION, CO (BRAIN)--DT Swiss is ready to ship the rear shock and a rim
line that it introduced last year.
"Rims are a logical extension of our wheel related product line. The shock, which is well received
in Europe, showcases all the fine Swiss machining and quality construction we are known for," said
Paul Aieta, DT Swiss USA's general manager.
DT's two mountain bike rims--one for rim brakes and one for disc brakes--feature patent-pending
welded and machined technology and are anodized black. They retail for $65 and weigh 425 grams (14.9
ounces). Road and trekking will be available in the fall. The SSD 210L shock, which has been used as
original equipment by 20 European bike companies, retails for $425.
The company's spoke line also has new additions. The Aerolite is a new lightweight, butted and
bladed spoke. The blackened spokes have a higher tensile strength that DT's Revolutions because
of the cold working done during the blading process. But the technology carries a hefty price.
One Aerolite spoke with alloy nipple retails for $3.50, compared to $1.50 for a Revolution spoke
and nipple.
DT Swiss products are available from Bicycle Technology International and Quality Bicycle Products.
